A BISMARCK special says: The body of

washed ashore at Winona. sixty-tive miles
down the river, recently. The postoffice
inspector found Irregularities in the Office
and intimated that CaELo2 va liable to be
arrested and imprisoned. He disappeared
from the postoffice at o'clock in the even
ing, and not until the finding of the body
in the Missouri could any facts be ascer-
tanned. He was worth about $35, 900, and
as far as learned leaves no will.
PAT SHEEDY, manager, of John L..
Sullivan, has written Patsy Cardiff that
Sullivan will not be able to meet him at the
time named in the articles of agreement
made last winter. He says it will be
months before Sullivans arm will be in
condition to meet any one, and it might
never be as strong MS before the injury.
The fight, therefore, is of. Efforts are
now being made to make a match between
Cardiff and Killen.

The recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the drive we'll cases does
not cover the points in the Iowa cases be-
fore the same court to come up at the Oc-
tober term, and does not reverse the decis-
ion of Judges Sbiras and Love in the Iowa
cases. The priority Of use is said to be
firmly established in the lower court.
The Interior Department at Washington
is proceeding as rapidly as possible in the
execution of the law relative to allotment
lands to Indians in severalty which was
enacted by the last Congress. The law
proceeds upon tho assumption that the
free consent of each particular tribe or
band of Indians must be obtained before
the allotment can be made. Under this
law it will be an absolutely hopeless task
TO attempt to treak some Of the reserva-
tons which are now held under binding
treaties with the Indians as nations, and
years may be required to execute the new
Law in the spirit in which it ia framed.
